It’s been so long since I’ve seen myself.
Every scar, bruise, and mark hasn’t changed,
but I still didn’t see me.
My silhouette was still mine, maybe smaller in size from the last time I looked,
maybe darker circles around my eyes,
but nowhere was there a sign of my life inside of me.
A phantom walked in my shoes for several months.
And now that I have my shoes back, I have outgrown them,
letting go of what once was and accepting what is now.
And so I took a photo of myself in hopes I can see my reflection showing me,
and this time,
it’s all of me.
